Erythritol

What is Erythritol?

Erythritol is a type of carbohydrate called a sugar alcohol, or polyol, which are water-soluble compounds that occur naturally in many fruits and vegetables. It is also commercially produced by fermentation from a simple sugar derived from corn, called dextrose. It’s used as a zero-calorie sweetener to help replace calories from carbohydrates and sugars in packaged foods and beverages. In addition to providing sweetness, erythritol also helps foods retain moisture.
Erythritol is a low-calorie sweetener. Erythritol is generally not harmful to the kidneys. Compared to other sugar alcohols, erythritol has many significant functional and application advantages because of its very high molecular weight. Small, most of them can be quickly absorbed in the cerebellum, but will not be metabolized and decomposed, and will soon be excreted in the urine. Therefore, erythritol usually does not cause kidney damage. In addition, erythritol affects blood sugar. It’s small, so diabetics can eat it.

Erythritol Application

Application in food
Bulk Erythritol is very close to white sugar in appearance and taste. It can be exchanged for white sugar in recipes at a ratio of 1:1, but the sweetness is slightly lower. And reducing the sweetness to avoid over-stimulation of the sweet nerve is not a bad thing.
Erythritol is thermally stable and can be used in baking. In baked goods, it not only provides sweetness, but also serves the structural role of the sugar it replaces, such as providing bulk, helping with whipping, etc. It is probably the most commonly used sugar substitute in low-carb desserts.
Erythritol is slightly less soluble than sugar. Powdered erythritol works better than crystals in some formulations that require a smooth texture. In addition, erythritol cannot caramelize and allow yeast to ferment.
In many cases, erythritol is often used in combination with very small amounts of stevia powder or monk fruit sugar, two natural strong sweeteners, to achieve the same sweetness as sucrose, or to use less erythritol.
